One of the most acclaimed and famous erotic novels of all time - and one of only five erotic novels credited with true literary status by Susan Sontag, this is a tale of bondage, dominance and submission in the tradition of The Story of O. The narrator, Jean, is assisted by Claire in the domination of the subservient Anne in a series of sexually explicit scenarios. Like O, The Image is ultimately a potent and bizarre love story.

White Stains remains Aleister Crowley's most infamous work, his attempt at taking the Satanic/erotic decadencee of Baudelaire and ramping it up to new extremes of degradation, sexual depravity and demonic frenzy. Revelling in filth, Crowley includes odes to sodomy, fellatio, cunnilingus, analingus, rape, lesbianism, impotence, venereal disease, bestiality, sado-masochism, coprophilia, necrophila, blasphemy and devil-worship in this staggering, over-the-top compendium of eros and evil. This new edition of White Stains also includes Crowley's rare later volume, The Nameless Novel (1904), a rampant pornographic novella written to stimulate and amuse his wife. With a new introduction by Crowley scholar D M Mitchell, the book is illustrated with rare examples of Victorian erotic photography, making it a decorative document of fin-de-sicle erotica, as well as a unique compendium of Crowley's most outrageous and notorious literary output.

Copenhagen in the mid-1960s was at the very forefront of the fight against censorship, producing dozens of underground sex magazines which continually pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable in the visual erotic image. Featuring voluptuous nude pin-up girls plucked from the streets and thrust in front of hungry cameras in secret backstreet studios, these magazines were at the forefront, parading scores of these amateur but sexy young women in a multitude of alluring, often explicit poses and settings.Jean le Baptiste has assembled from his own collection a stunning array of vintage photographs from these magazines, a collection which at once takes us back to the fashions and styles of more innocent decades, yet delivers a strong erotic thrill at the rediscovery of these wanton Danish girls in their sexual prime. "Dirty Danish Dolls" contains 100 shamelessly provocative images, with 32 pages in full colour. For those who prefer women with no tattoos, no silicone, and hair where nature intended.

Dirty Danish Dolls: Scandinavian Glamour Girls

Nudist, or naturist, magazines comprising photographs of naked men, women and children enjoying outdoor activities first appeared as far back as the beginning of the 20th century. Nudist culture boomed in the 1950s and early 1960s, following a landmark ruling which permitted such material to be freely distributed via the US mail. Of course, these publications were not aimed solely at fellow naturists; although their content and context was strictly non-sexual, the ample swathes of female flesh they offered nonetheless provided the average man with the only masturbatory material which was freely available. Jean le Baptiste has assembled from his own collection a stunning array of vintage photographs from these magazines, a collection which takes us back to the unashamed, unclothed splendour of more innocent decades in the sun. "Naked At Noon" contains over 100 classic images, with 32 pages in full colour. For those who prefer women with no tattoos, no silicone, and hair where nature intended.

SALOME is an evocation of biblical horror in which blasphemies inflame an atmosphere that seethes with a dangerous erotic charge from the very outset. Relentless, hypnotic repetitions in the words, arranged in fugue cadences, lend the proceedings a masturbatory, oneiric quality: the tale unfolds with the inexorable acceleration of an orgasmic nightmare. Aubrey Beardsley's UNDER THE HILL, a short work commenced in 1894 but left unfinished at the time of Beardsley's premature demise, nonetheless achieves the quintessence of Decadence, an evocation of a synaesthetic pleasure dome to rival Huysmans' A Rebours. This, allied to its extraordinary catalogue of sexual perversions, makes it a unique and indispensable text for any who seek the uttermost extremes of the manifest imagination. This joint edition of SALOME and UNDER THE HILL, united by twenty of Beardsley's unsurpassable drawings, is a timely rehabilitation of these two all-too-often ignored fin-de-siÃ¨cle texts, and constitutes a volume of unadulterated erotic decadence which stands at the pinnacle of the genre.

Restif de la Bretonne (1734-1806) was perhaps the key author amongst a glut of imitators inspired by the publication of the Marquis de Sade's "obscene” masterworks Juliette and Justine in the late 18th century. In 1798 Restif wrote his pornographic epic THE ANTI-JUSTINE (or The Joys of Eros), thus inaugurating a long tradition of "Sadean literature” that continues to this day. THE ANTI-JUSTINE is a pornographic novelization of Restif's own life and sexual debauches, which the author tried to defend "morally” by declaring his book to be an "antidote” to the supposed poison of de Sade; yet whilst the book opens with a spurious warning to women against cruelty, it soon develops into a monumental odyssey of sexual depravity which often rivals de Sade in its relentlessly explicit nature.
